The debates and discussions about nepotism in the entertainment industry have escalated after the unfortunate demise of Sushant Singh Rajput. A lot of actors, both from outside the film families and star kids, have given their opinions on the issue. Another actor, not from a film family, and who made it on her own, has spoken about the same.

The actor in question is Tamannaah Bhatia. Speaking to Hindustan Times about nepotism, she stated, "Coming from Mumbai, when I started doing Tamil and Telugu films, I neither knew the languages, nor did I know anyone in the industry. So I had no connection whatsoever. I worked hard and kept getting opportunities may be because people saw potential in me. Whatever success or failure I got on my way was because of my efforts and destiny."
